“There are so many rare and unique materials available to an artist to work with and Vellum is one of my absolute favourites. It is perfect in its imperfections. No two pieces are ever the same.  It is extremely difficult to work with, but the results, like this unique Compendium, are simply stunning.” …David Boucher

This very special luxurious box from the Boucher & Co Collection is handmade with meticulous attention to detail.

The exterior is enveloped with a most unusual speckled blue Vellum and capped at each end with solid bronzed curved plates inlaid with magnificently figured fumed Eucalyptus in a sunset, slip-matched pattern with an inlaid bronzed semicircle.  The amazing top of the box is made from individual triangular shaped segments of wood wrapped in vellum and assembled to form a sunset pattern finishing in an inlaid bronzed semicircle.   

A custom made and fitted bronzed escutcheon conceals a handmade lock.

The interior has four compartments precision fitted with a luxurious tan coloured Italian leather. The two end compartments have fully leathered lift off lids with handmade bronzed knobs.  There is also a beautiful, leathered lift-out compartment with custom made bronzed ends.

The box is polished with a very durable clear lacquer.

More about vellum: The fascinating feature of dyed goatskin vellum is the distinctive ‘look’ that comes from the variations in tone and shade, not only from skin to skin but also within a single piece. This is because, as an entirely natural material, no two skins have exactly the same grain structure and natural colour variations will occur. Our vellum comes from a family-owned company in the United Kingdom that has been in continuous production of this product for over 140 years.  They are regarded as the makers of the finest quality parchment and vellum in the world.
